प्रश्न
A point charge is taken from a point A to a point B in an electric field. Does the work done by the electric field depend on the path of the charge?
उत्तर
Electrostatic field is a conservative field. Therefore, work done by the electric field does not depend on the path followed by the charge. It only depends on the position of the charge, from which and to which the charge has been moved.
